Is Video gaming a sport

Doing a college research paper on a argumentative subject. Im looking for people opinions on if video gaming can be considered a sport. Me being a competive junkie when it comes video games. i have competed in tornaments and legues on different variety of games. starcraft, wow arenas, call of duty, and rainbow six and etc. i strongly believe video games is a sport.

There's "Sport" and then "ESport" which some people like to differentiate.
ESport (Electronic Sport), is just the same as a form of competition as sport.

Sport in history has been considered always having a physical aspect to it all. If you're going by history, no it isn't a sport, if you're going by current day and use, it'd be an ESport.

Both of em provide entertainment to each their viewers, question just becomes do you deem the activity a sport or not.
Personally it's a sport due to modern times, despite never caring about competitions to begin with.
